Boehner's Blog 

In advance of President Obama’s latest visit to Ohio today, the Los Angeles Times spent some time in Stark County, an important bellwether in the Northeastern part of the state.  The Times found no shortage of Ohioans willing to speak out against the president’s tax, spend and regulate policies of the past three years:

“Reg Rozell and Kim C. Sweitzer seem like they'd be sure-fire Obama 2012 supporters.

“Both have good-paying union jobs at a busy steel mill here and are benefiting from a manufacturing surge that's keeping their employer operating three shifts and granting overtime to whoever wants it.

“But though both voted for Barack Obama in 2008, they say they won't vote to reelect him, even though they're noticing positive signs in the economy.

“‘I've basically been a Democratic voter, but I won't vote for Obama again,’ said Rozell… ‘I don't like the bailout, I don't like taxes, I don't like talking about trillions of dollars of deficit.’”

Under the leadership of Governor John Kasich, there are clear signs of progress being made in Ohio.  But unemployment remains unacceptably high, and Buckeye State voters know that the failed jobs policies of the Obama Administration are to blame.

As he addresses the nation from Cleveland, Ohio families and small businesses will be looking to President Obama to set aside divisive campaign rhetoric and re-engage with Democrats and Republicans in Congress to get things accomplished for jobs and long-term economic growth.  He can start by urging Senate Democrats to take up the more than 25 bipartisan House-passed jobs bills currently stuck in the upper chamber.
